< Ezra 10 >

1 Ie nihalaly naho nisoloho, nangololoike naho nidrakadrakak’ añ’atrefan’ anjomban’ Añahare eo t’i Ezra, le nifanontoñe ama’e boak’ Israele ao ty valobohò-bey, lahilahy naho rakemba naho ajaja, songa nangoihoy ty rovetse.
Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great weeping.
2 Aa le nanoiñe t’i Sekanaià ana’ Iehiele, amo ana’ i Elameo, ty hoe amy Ezra: Fa nampipitso-patokisañe aman’ Añahare’ay zahay, ie nañenga ampela ankafankafa am’ ondati’ ty tane toio; fe amam-pitamañe t’Israele henane zao ndra te eo izay.
And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,
3 Antao arè hifañina aman’ Añaharen-tikañe hanasa valy rekets’ o nisamak’ ama’eo, ty amy nañereta’ i Talè naho ty amo minevenevetse amy lilin’ Añaharen-tikañeio; le ehe t’ie hanoeñe an-Kàke.
let us strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.
4 Miongaha, ama’o o raha zao vaho mpiama’o zahay; mihafatrara le anò.
Rise up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”
5 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Ezra, nampifanta o mpiaolom-pisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio naho Israele iaby, hanoa’ iereo i nisaontsieñey. Le nifanta iereo.
Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.
6 Aa le niavotse boak’ añatrefan’ An­jomban’ Añahare eo t’i Ezra, nizilik’ añ’ efe’ Iehohanane ana’ i Eliasibe ao; tsy nikama rano ndra mahakama t’ie tao, ami’ty fandalà’e i tsy fatokisa’ o tam-pandrohizañeo.
And Ezra rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.
7 Aa le nanitsike Iehoda naho Ierosalaime iereo nanao koim-bohitse amo anam-pandrohizañe iabio hifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao;
And a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in Jerusalem.
8 le ze tsy nitsatoke eo añate’ ty telo andro, ty amy fañereta’ o roandriañeo naho o mpiaoloo, le hafahañe ama’e iaby o vara’eo, le haitoañe amy fivorin-tam-pandrohizañey.
And all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.
9 Aa le nifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao añate’ i telo andro rezay ze hene lahilahi’ Iehoda naho i Beniamine, amy volam-paha-sivey, amy andro faha-roapolo’ i volañeiy; le songa niam­besatse amy tameañe aolo’ i anjomban’ Añaha­reiy ondatio, sindre nititititike ty amy raha zay naho amy oram-bey.
And so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the rain.
10 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Ezra mpitoky, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Fa nampipitso-patokisañe nahareo naho fa nañenga ampela ambahiny, hampitoabotse ty hakeo’ Israele.
And Ezra, the priest, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses of Israel.
11 Aa le misolohoa am’ Iehovà Andria­nañaharen-droae’ areo, le ano ty satrin’ arofo’e; vaho miavaha am’ ondati’ i taneio naho amo rakemba ambahinio.
And now, make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”
12 Le nanoiñe am-peo mafe i fivoriy, ami’ty hoe: Tsy mete tsy hanoe’ay i nitaroñe’oy.
And the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.
13 Fe maro ondatio, le oram-bey ty eo henaneo naho tsy mahafijohañe an-tamean-jahay vaho tsy fitoloñan’ andro roe ndra raike o raha zao; amy te bey ty tahi’ay amy rahay.
Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter, )
14 Ee te hiongak’ amy zao o mpiaolom-balobohòkeo, songa hiheo mb’ atoy ami’ ty andro tinendre, o an-drova’ay nañenga ampela ambahinio vaho sindre hindrezam-piaolo naho mpizaka boak’ amy rova’ey, ampara’ te mitolike ty haviñeran’ Añaharen-tika miforoforo aman-tikañe, ty amo raha zao.
let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”
15 Ionatane, ana’ i Asahele naho Iakzeià ana’ i Tikvà avao ty nandietse i rahay le nañolotse iareo t’i Mesolame naho i Sabetày, nte-Levy.
And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted them.
16 Fe nanoe’ o anam-pandrohizañeo izay. Le nivike t’i Ezra, mpisoroñe, reketse ty mpiaolo ila’ o anjomban-droae’eo, sindre anjomban-droae, songa ondaty amy tahina’ey, niambesatse amy andro valoha’ i volam-paha-foloy hitsikarake i rahay.
And the sons of the transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might examine the matter.
17 Le nitsitsihe’ iareo ondaty nañenga rakemba ambahinio ampara’ ty andro valoha’ i volam-baloha’ey.
And they made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, by the first day of the first month.
18 Le o nizoeñe te nanambaly ampela hafa amo anam-pisoroñeoo: amo ana’ Iesoa, o ana’ Iozadakeo, le amo rahalahi’eo: i Maaseià naho i Eliezere naho Iaribe vaho i Gedalià,
And there were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
19 songa nanolo-pitàñe hifanarake amo vali’eo; aa ty amy tahi’ iareoy le songa nañefa añondrilahy boak’ an-dia-raik’ ao, ho amy hakeo’ey.
And they swore with their hands that they would cast aside their wives, and that they would offer for their offense a ram from among the sheep.
